MRI offers one of the best of all imaging modalities
because of its excellent contrast differentiation between muscle, fat,
vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, cortical bone, and marrow bone
space.

Yuba City Advanced Imaging Center has a state of the art Hitachi AIRIS®
Elite Open MRI,
the only Mid-field Open
MRI in this region. The AIRIS Elite Advance Mid-field MR
has an open design that combines a 0.3 Tesla field strength and advanced
magnet technology for image quality, patient throughput and advanced
clinical capabilities previously not possible at mid-field. In a
clinical practice, the quality of the images is extremely important for
correct diagnosis. AIRIS Elite offers an ideal combination of image
quality and patient comfort, satisfying physicians and patients.

The AIRIS Elite provides a comfortable environment during magnetic
resonance imaging examinations. It has an award-winning open gantry
design, with an asymmetric two-post architecture that offers the patient a
non-claustrophobic environment. The open design easily accommodates
not only claustrophobic patients but those who are anxious or larger than
average as well. The spacious gantry opening also provides the
healthcare professional the opportunity to directly attend to patients on
all four sides, while offering patients a comfortable scanning environment
with a magnet that delivers high-field performance.
